Children don't inherit your advice. They inherit your patterns. The ones you don't see. Mimic is a 90-second daily practice that makes the invisible visible.
Early access at launch · Founding member pricing · No spam, ever.
Not the way you tell them to. Not the way the parenting book says they should. The way you do, when you're tired, when you're angry, when you think no one's watching.
The pattern is the inheritance. Hiding it doesn't break it.
No streaks. No guilt loops. No breathwork. Just four moments that ask one question: am I worth copying today?
The pattern interrupt. A photo, a video, a moment of stillness before the day pulls you under.
What state are you bringing into the day? Honest, not aspirational.
Habits and vices both leave fingerprints. Mimic helps you see them clearly.
One commitment. One sentence. Carry it into the day.
Mimic tracks two distinct inheritances with two distinct systems. The architecture matters: habits and vices need different relationships with visibility.
Three tiers. Visibility is the lever. The more witnessed a habit becomes, the more it integrates into who you are, and what your child sees.
Three tiers, inverted. Hiddenness is the goal at first. With days clean as the proof. The practice ends, eventually, with the courage to be witnessed.
Most habit apps are designed to retain you. Mimic is designed to change you and let you go. The product gets out of the way.
Mimic costs $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Founding members can lock in lifetime access for $199, once.
Lifetime pricing is capped at the first 500 members. After launch, the price goes to $299. The lifetime tier may not stay available at all.
For the parents who know they'll do this for the next decade.
The trial is real. No credit card games. If Mimic changes how you parent, you stay. If it doesn't, you leave clean.
No. Habit trackers measure what you do. Mimic measures what your child sees you do, and what they're inheriting because of it. The frame is different. The architecture is different. The goal is different.
Because parents don't have ten. The practice has to survive school drop-off, a tantrum, a missed alarm. If it can't be done in 90 seconds, it won't get done. A daily practice you skip becomes another quiet failure your child watches you swallow. We designed for the worst morning, not the best one.
Because it's the only honest pattern interrupt left. Your phone is engineered to pull you toward strangers. Your child's face pulls you toward yourself. It is, briefly, unignorable. That's the whole point of the Mirror step.
Because Calm and Headspace already do that, and they do it well. Mimic is not a calmer-parent app. It is an honesty-with-yourself app. The work is in seeing what you're handing down, not in regulating your nervous system before you hand it.
There's a button on the home screen: "I'm triggered." One tap. Mimic shows you your child's face, or plays back a 15-second video of your own voice, calm, telling yourself to stop. You set it up once. It's there for the moments willpower isn't enough.
You do. Everyone does. The vices pillar starts hidden by design. Most of us begin there. The witness system meets you where you actually are, not where the marketing copy pretends you are.
Yes. Your photos, your tracked patterns, your honest entries. All of it stays yours. We don't sell data, and we don't run ads. We're funded by parents who pay us, which is the only business model we trust to keep the product honest. See the Privacy Policy for specifics.

My son is nine months old. He's started copying my facial expressions. That's it, so far. But that's the whole thing. The copying has already started, and it's going to keep going for the next eighteen years, and most of what he inherits is going to come from patterns I haven't even noticed in myself yet.
I built Mimic because I want to get ahead of that. Not fix it when he's twelve and I see something I recognize. Now, while the slate is still mostly blank.
There are a lot of parenting apps. None of them ask the question I needed asked: am I worth copying today? So I built one that does.
If you want to talk to me, my email is at the bottom of this page. I read every one.
